Athletic Training
Athletic training is conducted by certified athletic trainers
(ATC). The ATC is educated and skilled in all aspects of sports
health care including prevention, recognition, immediate
management, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries.
The mission of the GWC athletic training staff is first and
foremost the care of the student-athlete. GWC sponsors 15
California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) sports
and we are committed to the total well being of all the
student-athletes participating in these sports. We strive to
provide the highest quality of medical care within the limits of
our resources, minimizing liability and maximizing the playing time
and quality of performance in any given venue. We serve as liaisons
between coaches, parents, doctors, athletes, and
administrators.
The GWC certified athletic training staff consist of two full-time
athletic trainers. Our staff athletic trainers are responsible for
ensuring that quality of care is provided to all student-athletes
at GWC. We are skilled in the latest techniques of prevention,
care, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. We also manage
administrative duties including medical referrals, insurance
billing, student development, pre-participation physical exams, and
public relations.
